]]>1. Vermont
Vermont is famous for more than maple syrup and skiing. The picturesque state is home to many hikes, small towns, and mountains that are just bursting with color. Be sure to check out Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, and revel in the view.
2. New Hampshire
Tune up your favorite fall playlist, and start your drive on The Kancamagus Highway. As you drive through the White Mountain National Forest, watch the leaves fall and the mountains glow in hues of red and orange. Along this route, you’ll find several overlooks, hikes, and attractions.
3. Maine
Enjoy some of the finest coastal scenery that New England has to offer by starting your journey in Portland, and driving along Route 1, for some views of lighthouses and old mansions. Continue north for about 160 miles until you hit Acadia National Park, and take in the breathtaking foliage.

]]>Go With a Friend
One great way to save money on a road trip is to go with friends. Naturally, this tip doesn’t really apply if you’re going with your own family as it is, but if that’s not the case, the more friends you travel with means more people you can split gas with.
Bring Food Along
If you were flying somewhere, it wouldn’t really be possible to bring a mini-fridge or grill, but road trips are different. You can totally bring all kinds of large items that’ll allow you to cook on the road, and avoid paying for three meals a day at restaurants.
Gas
Gas prices have been skyrocketing like crazy, and therefore a road trip may take a toll on your wallet in that regard. Some ways to save money on gas, however, are to watch your speed while you’re driving, take a more eco-friendly car, and also limit the amount of weight you put in the car as well.

]]>Finding Direction
Just as you’ll need to find your way literally, navigating on your own can also help you find your way figuratively. If you use the time to yourself for self-reflection, you can get to know yourself in new ways and even set some goals for yourself.
Trusting Yourself
Going out on your own can be scary, but that’s what makes it worthwhile. Learning to do everything on your own over multiple days–driving, reading maps, planning your route, etc.–can teach you to trust your own judgment and can build your overall confidence.
No Disagreements
Making all the decisions can be really fun! You get to choose the route, the music, and the bathroom break schedule. There will be no fights and you’ll always get your way. Go ahead and stop at every roadside attraction or none of them; it’s totally up to you.
No Judgment
With no one else around, you can sing as loud as you want and eat as many snacks as you like. You can be gross or super clean, and no one can do anything about it! Out on the road alone, you don’t have to perform for anyone–which means you can simply be yourself.

]]>The Chex Mixes
Chex has a lot to choose from, both sweet and salty. Classic Chex Mix is a great option, as it has lots of different types of snacks for maximum variety and crunch type in one bag. If you ever ate puppy chow as a child, then you’ll enjoy Chex’s Muddy Buddies–Chex cereal coated in peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar.
Snack Cakes
There is something intensely satisfying about biting into a soft, artificially-flavored cake. Enrobed in chocolate or filled with icing, if this is your craving then gas stations have a plethora of options. They also come in single-serving packets, so if you have a tendency to go overboard on snacks then this is a great way to keep them rationed.
Mixed Nuts
For a healthier and more substantial option, roasted and salted nuts are always a good choice. Nuts are full of protein and healthy fats, so they’ll keep you feeling full when you can’t stop for long stretches. Just be sure to have some water on hand to counteract the salt!

]]>Snack Choice
Unhealthy snacks are usually an essential part of every road trip, but they don’t have to be. Replace chips, chocolate bars, and fast food with healthier choices, such as nuts, protein bars, and fruits and veggies that can stay fresh for longer, such as apples, oranges, and carrots.
Mini Cooler
Traveling with a mini cooler is always a great idea, and you should try to make room for one in your trunk. Having a cooler will motivate you to travel with healthier snacks because you’ll have a place where you can keep them fresh for a longer period of time.
Drinking Habits
Drinking plenty of water during your road trip is as important as eating healthy food. It’s also crucial to remember that coffee, soda, energy drinks, and alcohol shouldn’t be used as a replacement for water and that they’re usually best avoided.

]]>Travel Style
Everyone has a different travel style, but it’s important to be on the same page when it comes to the goals for your trip. If you’ve never traveled together before, discuss your expectations beforehand to avoid petty arguments on the road.
Driving Around
If you’re traveling by car, make sure to have at least one travel companion by your side who’s a reliable driver. This won’t be a problem if you’re embarking on a short trip, but it’s always better to switch with someone during long rides so you wouldn’t lose focus while driving.
Money Talk
Embarking on a road trip usually means sharing expenses with your travel buddies. Make this clear from the start, so you wouldn’t end up traveling with people who aren’t ready to pitch in for gas, food, and lodging if necessary.

]]>Don’t Go Alone
Road trips are much more fun when your friends join you for the ride. In addition to providing you with some good company, they’ll also help you cut the costs of gas, food, and accommodation because you’d be splitting the bill.
Food and Accommodation
You can save money on food by packing a couple of snacks or even bringing a portable mini fridge along. If you’re going to spend the night, make sure to book accommodation in advance, or find a cheap or free camping ground.
Gas and Parking
Gas and parking will be two of your biggest road trip expenses, so make sure to approach them wisely. Research your options in advance if possible, and maximize your gas usage by watching your speed, only bringing necessary luggage, and turning the AC off.
